New cutting boards

Finally I finish my biggest project since I started making cutting boards. It came out in total of five bigger and two smaller boards. Some of them were gifts, some I sold and for the rest, I hope I will sold. I spare some material after all of this boards to make one smaller chaotic pattern cutting board and that will be next thing what I want to do. I don’t think it is necessary to explain the way how I made this boards,there is nothing special about it (same way how I make it in my previous projects). Short info would be…end grain cutting boards made of walnut,cherry,padauk and maple. For the ones who like what I made and want to see couple of extra pictures, I will add some which I took during progress in past few weeks.

They all look great! It’s kind of odd but my favorite is the last picture. I noticed how you used a curved handle which looks good but makes it easier to sand with a orbital sander! The last one I made I thought “it has to be easier with a curved handle”. Great job.

When I used padauk in a cutting board, I could never get rid of the sanding dust on the board. After I sanded the board but before I put mineral oil on, I would wipe the board of sanding dust (including using a vac) and the padauk dust would always still rub off on the rag. So, I stopped using padauk.

Did you notice that when you made these boards? I wonder if anyone else has had that experience?

When you say it like that jat, it makes me little to think :) I cannot say I have same problem like you when I work with padauk but I noticed after I’m done with sanding that there is always a lot of red dust. I simply wipe it out before oiling board. But I can say it comes a lot of sneezing when I’m putting padauk through thickener ( it’s not connected on dust collector ) :(XrayJay curved handles are easiest to make ,for me, and yes orbital sander do the job :)Upravu si Ivane,cevaste stege su zakon,jedva sam nasao gde mogu kupiti,ali uzeosam samo dva para da isprobam hoce li mi odgovarati.
